# Product Management Enhancements (Update 11)

## Overview
This update introduces several key enhancements to the Tenant Product Management system, focusing on usability, bulk operations, and visual content.

## 1. Product Image Support
- **Database**: Added `image` column to `products` table.
- **Backend**: Updated `ProductController` to handle file uploads (validation: image, max 2MB).
- **Frontend**: Added a drag-and-drop file input with live preview to the manual product creation form.
- **Storage**: Images are stored in `storage/app/public/products`. (Ensure `php artisan storage:link` is run).

## 2. Bulk Product Import
- **Feature**: Allows tenants to upload a CSV file to create multiple products at once.
- **Template**: Provides a downloadable CSV template (`product_import_template.csv`).
- **Route**: `POST /tenant/products/import`
- **Validation**: Checks for required columns and valid file types.

## 3. Frontend Refactoring (jQuery)
- **Change**: Replaced Alpine.js with jQuery for the `create.blade.php` page.
- **Reason**: Improved stability and compatibility with complex dynamic DOM manipulation (Variant Matrix generation).
- **Features**:
  - Tabbed interface (Manual Entry / Bulk Import).
  - Dynamic Attribute and Unit rows.
  - Cartesian product generation for Variants.
  - Color-coded sections for better UX (Green=Basic, Blue=Simple, Indigo=Attributes, Purple=Units).

## 4. Bulk Product Seeder (Command)
- **Command**: `php artisan tenant:seed-products {tenant_id?} {--count=100}`
- **Description**: Seeds a specific tenant's database with realistic dummy products.
- **Features**:
  - Automatically handles Tenant Context switching.
  - Runs pending tenant migrations before seeding.
  - Generates a mix of Simple (80%) and Complex (20%) products.
  - Randomly assigns Categories, Brands, and Units.

## Usage Guide

### Seeding Products
To populate a tenant database with 100 sample products:
```bash
php artisan tenant:seed-products --count=100
```
If no tenant_id is provided, it defaults to the first tenant found.

### Importing Products
1. Navigate to **Products > Create**.
2. Click the **Bulk Import (CSV/Excel)** tab.
3. Download the template.
4. Fill in the data and upload.

### Manual Creation
1. Navigate to **Products > Create**.
2. Fill in Basic Information (including optional Image).
3. Toggle "Multiple Options" for complex variants.
4. Define Attributes (e.g., Size, Color) and click **Generate Variants**.
